SOY-BROWN SUGAR-GINGER GLAZED SALMON

We ate a lot of salmon in the Pacific Northwest. Sockeye, also known as red salmon, is widely available. This is just another salmon recipe to add to your seafood recipe repertoire.

Dressing
⅓ cup low sodium soy sauce

2 T brown sugar

2 T fresh squeezed lemon or lime juice

½-inch piece ginger, grated

1 small clove garlic, minced or pressed

Freshly ground black pepper

Pinch of red pepper flakes

2 salmon fillets, about 6 to 7 ounces each

Mixed salad greens

In a bowl saucepan, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, lemon or lime juice, ginger, and garlic.

Season to taste with black pepper and red pepper flakes.

Heat until brown sugar is dissolved and sauce is slightly reduced.

Place salmon on a small baking sheet.

Spoon one tablespoon of the Soy-Brown Sugar mixture onto each salmon fillet and refrigerate 10 to 20 minutes.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Bake salmon for 7 minutes and then place under the broiler and broil for another 2 to 3 minutes, until salmon is caramelized and is cooked through.

Divide mixed salad greens between two plates.

Lift salmon off of baking sheet with a spatula, skin should remain on baking sheet, if not, peel off before plating.

Place salmon on top of salad greens.

Drizzle salmon with remaining Soy-Brown Sugar mixture.
